Memory and file size strategy

I have done exactly this with 4 sisterstacks (not substacks) - each 80megs.
When each is loaded into memory and edited a bit, the XP page file grows
~200 megs. When done I "delete stack" and the 200 megs is reclaimed, though
it takes about 4 minutes. I was never able to get the page file size as a
property anywhere and so a static "wait for 4*60 seconds" was needed.
Hope this helps
